Instructions:

For the Tropic chocolate mousse cake, first prepare the chocolate base. To do this, cream butter with powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, lemon zest and salt until fluffy. Slowly fold in egg yolks. Melt the chocolate coating in a bain-marie or in the microwave and stir into the butter mixture.

Whip egg whites with granulated sugar until stiff and fold into mixture alternately with sifted flour. Pour into a buttered, floured cake pan and bake in a preheated oven at 170 °C for 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool and cut once horizontally into 2 equal parts.

For the chocolate mousse, beat eggs, egg yolks, granulated sugar and vanilla sugar over steam, first warm, then cold, until the mixture has a creamy consistency. Melt couvertures in a water bath or in the microwave. Soak gelatin, squeeze out, dissolve in warmed amaretto and stir into egg mixture. Stir in the melted couverture and fold in the semi-solid whipped cream.

For the tropic mousse, bring pureed fruit pulp to the boil with sugar and vanilla bean pulp. Mix cornstarch with a little water, add to the fruit pulp, simmer briefly and let cool. Soak gelatine, squeeze out, dissolve in warmed Cointreau and add to passion fruit pulp. Whip the cream until semi-solid and fold in.

Line a cake ring with a cake base, drizzle with Cointreau syrup and fill with chocolate mousse. Finish with tropic mousse. Refrigerate for a few hours.

Frost only the top with the fruit jelly and chill again until the jelly is set. Remove the Tropic chocolate mousse cake from the cake pan.
